ONGOING

POSTCARDS TO VOTERS - ongoing postcard writing campaigns from Tony the Democrat.

Students for Voting Justice SVJ is writing to 18 to 29 year-old registered Black voters in Pennsylvania. The cards are mostly pre-printed with a message urging young people to vote in the upcoming election. The cards highlight issues of importance to young people -- abortion rights, climate justice, economic justice, and more. The postcards have a QR code that will take them to a site that will enable them to check their registration and identify their polling locations. All that is needed is a small personal touch -- adding a "Dear [First Name]," a bit of colorful decoration, and then signing the cards with your first name only. Stamps are provided. Each card should take no more than 3 to 5 minutes. Cards can be picked up on the East Side in NYC or shipped if necessary. We ask that people request minimum of 100 cards at a time in increments of 100. Cards are write, hold, and mail any time between mid-September and mid-October. Request postcards HERE.

NORTHEAST ARIZONA NATIVE DEMOCRATS
THERE ARE NOW TWO WAYS TO SIGN UP TO DO NEAZ POSTCARDS:

1. NEAZ is now using Cardzilla- very easy to get addresses here:
Just go here: https://neazd-83b1fa1a0fdb.herokuapp.com/  and get started! You can ask for whatever number you have time to do on a given day or two. No need to take large numbers!

2. Via Mobilize, sign up here: 
https://www.mobilize.us/aznativeorganizingcampaign/event/527542/?followup_modal_context=email_shift_followup_same_event
You don't have to go to a meeting but sign up for a date and they will email you addresses & Script for 25 cards that day. 

NEAZ WEBSITE

In 2023, our team must reach every high-potential Native Democratic voter on Navajo, Hopi, and White Mountain Apache lands in Northeast Arizona. With your help, we can empower Native voices in Arizona politics to vote for a Blue Arizona. Our organization has no "off" years - the Presidential election may be in 2024, but our voters are there every year and building our relationship doesn't take a year off.

Please sign up to get a list of 25 voter addresses and a script to help us reach our voters. There is no actual meeting on Fridays for this project: 10am AZ time is the cut off time for registering for that week.

This volunteer effort allows us to keep our funds in the field and increase the number of organizers we can have on the ground. We now have four full time Native field organizers: you help make that possible with these cards to voters. Thank you!

California: The pathway to a Democratic Congress lies through California and we have an amazing list of talented candidates who can get us there. Let’s flip these seats! Help elect Derek Tran (CA 45) to Congress by writing postcards to voters aged 46 and over focused on Social Security. Our campaign for George Whitesides (CA 27) focuses on inflation and the cost of prescription drugs. Support Rudy Salas (CA 22) by informing infrequent voters about his work expanding health care access in the Central Valley. And write to voters aged 18-45 in support of Congressional candidates Adam Gray (CA 13), Will Rollins (CA 41) and Dave Min (CA 47) about how MAGA Republicans want to restrict abortion and health care rights - but we are not going back! Please mail these postcards as you complete them and by mid September at the latest.

Montana: Let’s re-elect Senator Jon Tester! He is dedicated to serving the people of Montana and he is essential to holding a Democratic majority in the Senate. We are writing to younger Democrats who don’t always vote about Senator Tester’s accomplishment bringing increased access to high-speed internet to Montana. Please mail these postcards as you complete them and by early September at the latest.

Nevada: Help re-elect Nevada’s Democrats to Congress! We are writing to infrequent voters to support Congresswoman Dina Titus (NV 01) and Congressman Steven Horsford (NV 04), making sure voters know about their support for creating union jobs and building more housing in Nevada.

New York: In NY’s 18th Congressional District, help us re elect Democrat Rep. Pat Ryan, a West Point graduate and veteran who is fighting for working families. Write to voters aged 18-39 about Ryan’s work with unions and support for paid family leave. And write to voters aged 40 and over about his commitment to public safety and common sense gun safety.

And in NY 22, let’s flip the seat currently held by a MAGA Republican and elect Democrat John Mannion to Congress! For these NY campaigns, please mail your postcards as you complete them and within 4-6 weeks.

Pennsylvania: We are working to re-elect Susan Wild in PA 07, Matt Cartwright in PA 08 and Chris Deluzio in PA 17 and to flip PA 10 and elect Janelle Stelson. For Cartwright and Deluzio, our campaigns are highlighting Democrats’ commitment to making prescription medications more affordable. For Wild and Stelson, we are highlighting the need to protect abortion rights and access to healthcare with those for pre-existing conditions. Please mail postcards as you complete them and within 6 weeks at the latest.

Postcards and Conversation with Rudy Salas, Candidate for Congress in CA-22

Rudy Salas was born and raised in the Central Valley where he has worked his way from laboring in the fields with his father to serving in the State Assembly. Now he is running for Congress to continue to fight for the Central Valley families who are often overlooked in Washington. CA-22 is a district that President Biden carried by 13% in 2020 and is rated a toss-up by the Cook Political Report. This district also has the highest Latino population in California, and Rudy is the only Latino in the race. With this being a Presidential year, Hispanic and Democratic voters will be more engaged and Rudy’s ground team has started earlier than ever. If you would like to support Rudy’s campaign, you can contribute here:  https://secure.actblue.com/donate/trionyc-salas Join Downtown Nasty Women, Markers For Democracy, and Team Min for any part of the morning.
